The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me Yet Showers Me With Adoration Manga Gets TV Anime Adaptation
The romantic fantasy manga The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me Yet Showers Me With Adoration is officially receiving a TV anime adaptation, scheduled to premiere in July 2026.
Originally written by Kei Misawa and illustrated by Natsu Mizuno, the series debuted in 2021 and quickly gained popularity among romance and fantasy fans. The manga has built a strong following thanks to its emotional storytelling, aristocratic drama, and slow-burn romance.
About the Story
The story follows Elsa Jukarainen, the daughter of a formerly noble family who unexpectedly receives a marriage proposal from Julius Roas, the son of a powerful duke. Although the match seems like a dream opportunity, Julius makes it clear from the beginning that he has no intention of loving her after they marry.
Despite his cold declaration, Julius’ actions often contradict his words, as he frequently shows Elsa kindness and affection. This emotional contrast forms the heart of the story, blending romance, misunderstandings, and gradual character development.
The series has resonated with readers who enjoy noble settings, arranged marriage tropes, and emotionally layered relationships.
